     Extractions: The rich and powerful people of ancient Rome were the patricians , who governed the city from the Senate ( the Senate was Romes governing body during the republic voted into office once a year by an Assembly of citizens ), and the equites , or men of property. All the social and most political power was in the hands of a few ancient families, such as Cornelii, the Julii ( the family of the Caesers) and the Aemilii. The Senate lost most of its power under the emperors, but the patrician families still led public opinion. Most patricians had, beside their house at Rome, a family farm in the country and a number of villas in pleasant spots of Latium in central Italy or in the south. Town and contry houses alike were beautifully built and designed for their owner's comfort. The Romans believed in making their sons fine soilders so after he became a Roman citizen he was enlisted on his first military campaign. On his return from military service the son of a patrician almost always entered into politics, and the sons of equites sometimes did the same. A young man first stood for election as an aedile , or city councillor. The aediles looked after the corn supply and public amusements. The next office was that of the

     Extractions: Contents Previous Article Next Article The years between A. D. 235 and 284 were known as the period of military anarchy or simply as the period of the Barracks Emperors. Ever since the Praetorian Guard had murdered Caligula and set Claudius up as emperor in his place, the army found that it could control the empire and set up a new emperor when they grew tired of the old one. Most of the emperors throughout the Flavian, Antonine and Severan periods which lasted from A. D. 79 through A. D. 235 had been strong enough to resist the Praetorian Guard's attempts to rule the empire in this way. Two notable exceptions were Didius Julianus. After having murdered Pertinax, the Praetorians actually auctioned off the empire to the highest bidder! Didius Julianus outbid the next lower bidder and purchased the throne by offering a bonus of 25,000 sestertii per man.

     Extractions: Some Notes Imperator Caesar Augustus (63 B.C. to 14 A.D.) (formerly 'Octavian'), grandson of Julius Caesar's sister, adopted by Caesar in his will (44 B.C.). Young Caesar was thus the inheritor of the family priesthoods, the family property, the amicitiae (system of political friendships through fides ) and clients (including potentially the ex-soldiers of the late dictator Caesar). Conflict of interest and ambitions between young Caesar, Marcus Antonius (consul of 44 B.C. and the Dictator Caesar's closest political operative), and M. Aemilius Lepidus (Caesar's Master of the Horse in his dictatorship) brought on a political crisis which resulted in the creation of an alliance called the Second Triumvirate (November, 43 B.C., by the Lex Titia , 5 years (43-38) and a five-year continuation (38-33). Who had what power in 32 is an interesting question. FOUNDATIONS OF THE PRINCIPATE princeps = `First citizen' or `Prince') From 31-23: The Army (78 legions, gradually being reduced), money (the treasury of Egypt), and annual reelection to the consulship. *** On January 13-16, 27 B.C. Young Caesar presided over what he called `the Restoration of the Republic'. He was awarded the title Augustus by a `grateful' Senate as an addition to his name, and thus became Imperator Caesar Augustus officially. After 23 B.C.: ("The Second Settlement", in June?). Though no longer consul every year the Princeps held:

     Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathTrek September 11, 2000 Years ago, when I was in high school and college, the board games Risk and Diplomacy served as wonderful playing fields where I could develop and exercise my tactical and negotiating skills. One issue that often came up in my forays into international intrigue was how to deploy my limited forces to defend far-flung territories while I plotted to conquer the world. Such questions of military strategy can be handled mathematically. Charles S. ReVelle of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and Kenneth E. Rosing, recently retired from Erasmus University Rotterdam, describe their approach in the August-September American Mathematical Monthly. ReVelle is a pioneer in the relatively new and rapidly growing field of location science, which involves the use of mathematical techniques to determine the best places to put fire stations, hospitals, fast-food restaurants, or even military units. One classic case goes back to the years of the Roman empire's decline. In the 3rd century, Rome dominated Europe and could station 50 legions throughout its territories, securing even the most distant lands. A century later, it had only about half as many legions to defend the empire. Emperor Constantine (274-337) had to decide how to disperse the legions at his disposal to protect the empire's fringes without leaving Rome itself open to attack. He devised a "defense-in-depth" strategy to cope with the diminished power of his forces. He expected local, part-time militias to slow down and fragment invading barbarian hordes, and he dispatched well-equipped and highly trained mobile field armies, when needed, to halt or throw back the enemy or suppress an insurrection.
